Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

Story at the The Free Press: Our 50 Year War with Iran

Bari Weiss is pushing the β€œ50 year war” narrative at both the Free Press and CBS. The erases both American culpability for the current war (since Iran started in 1979!) and the reasons why a theocratic anti-American regime took power in the first place.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

MoCo bill would prohibit ICE building permits The Montgomery County Council announced its latest step Monday to counter the federal campaign to deport immigrants, which has disrupted the lives of hundreds of county residents.

Montgomery County wants to ban permits for ICE facilities after seeing warehouses turned into detention centers in other parts of the state. My latest: www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

I assume this is exact same rationale Ted Cruz, more commonly known as the Zodiac Killer, used when he murdered at least five people in the San Francisco Bay Area between December 1968 and October 1969.

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

Remember when Trump yanked funds from Mississippi after learning that the state's welfare chief had directed millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to sports celebrities, including not only Brett Favre, but the Million Dollar man and his two pro-wrestler sons?

Wait. He didn't.

St. John's University says it no longer recognizes faculty unions after 56 years St. John's University in Queens, New York, notified employees on Feb. 19 that it will no longer recognize the two unions that have represented faculty members at the Catholic university since 1970.

"This shameful attack on the St. John's faculty union betrays the university's history and most deeply-held Catholic values. It's outrageous that religious leaders are joining in the assaults on higher education that are happening nationwide."

A lot of reporting on local law enforcement β€œrefusing to work with ICE” is somewhat dishonest. You really cannot reduce deportations and detention without reducing policing and arrests, which requires a wholesale reexamination of the whole criminal system.

What is being labeled β€œcontroversial” today is the very knowledge Texas will need to survive tomorrow.

The question is no longer whether higher education can be saved as it is.

The question is whether we are ready to imagineβ€”and buildβ€”what comes next.

This is so fucked up. They are trying to make it impossible to exist as a trans person. They are trying to eradicate trans people.

Fuck every single person who helped usher in transphobia, in a big way or small.
